You know the players change each tournament, yeah?
In fact most of this group of players in this England squad seem level-headed, well-mannered and thoughtful (Maguire may be the exception!). I think it comes from the manager's expectations as much as anything, maybe he has selected a group who won't preen.
The performance yesterday was good, not exceptional and there was no killer instinct. A 1-0 win with such a skill, possession and tactical advantage always concerns me. If that shot had gone in off the post (or keeper) early on then it might have been a different story.
It's good to get the win.
Not sure we had a skill/possession advantage.
It was a sound workmanlike performance.
Defence was good, but I think we lacked real creativity and guile in midfield, with not enough players wanting to turn with the ball and create something going foward apart from Phillips.
Too often the ball was just played backwards again.
Only Sterling had the courage to really run at players.
Whilst Mount, Rice and Foden were ok, I don't think they did enough to guarantee a place against Scotland.
